The Green Waltz

Mary Jane aka ganja, grass, marijuana and a host of other names. Serenity is yours to gain being led in dance to fairyland swing waltz with Mary Jane Sapped by undue stress and strain tango’s for two yet ‘lone you stand serenity is yours to gain When music sounds an odd refrain discordant noise in every strand swing waltz with Mary Jane One-step, two-step to higher plane wild rumba to a one-man band serenity is yours to gain Cha-cha and spruce your addled brain Skunk, Lebanese, most every brand swing waltz with Mary Jane When life is sucked dry vein-by-vein reborn yourself with spliff in hand serenity is yours to gain swing waltz with Mary Jane *********************************** A SPECIAL VILLANELLE TO ALL GANJA-GUZZLING OL' GEEZERS

Or you could serve Alice-B-Toklas Cookies. Same thing only instead of smoking it you eat it. Either way it's still Loco Weed. Well done my friend. God Bless, JB

Exquisite entry, Delysia. Outstanding write. Looks like a winner to me. Good luck. Thanks for your comments on my recent postings. My "Turn About" poem is fiction, as are most of my postings.

Marijuana does bring a sense of euphoria, Delysia, and it has medicinal value as well. Once in the Bahamas a strange man approached us and asked if we wanted to buy "ganja." I thought it was some type of jewelry. Best wishes in Catie's contest with your creative write. You are among my favorites too! Love, Carolyn
